50. DIALECTICAL JOURNAL WRITING (Writing, Reading, Questioning)
 
Description: A dialectical journal organizes a student’s thoughts when working with text.

Application: Use this activity as a method to focus students’ attention while reading.
 
Process: Instruct students to divide a regular sheet of paper into two sections, labeling the left column “Quote/Textual Evidence” and the right column “Student Response.”  Assign reading and review guidelines of the journal:
  • Choose passages and record them in the left-hand column of the chart, including page numbers. Look for quotes that seem significant, powerful, thought provoking or puzzling.
  • In the right-hand column of the chart, respond to the text, recording ideas, insights, questions, reflections, and comments about each passage. Responses should be detailed and specific.
  • The journal should contain at least twenty passages from throughout the reading and must contain various types of responses.
